The software that lets me browse, crop, tone caption and send photos costs just as much as a iPad. With tens of thousands of developers, how long before someone writes the software to do that with an iPad? I'm seriously salivating at the thought of NOT carrying around a laptop in addition to a gadget bag.

In all seriousness, commercial photography is exactly that commercial. Its about showing clients that you are the photographer they need to get the job done. Having cool, effective gear is one aspect to reassure that sense of professionalism and capability with your client. That's the reason we drop 10k on a pro body. I'll be lining up. AR
